Cubs to start Arrieta on Friday against Cardinals

CHICAGO — Jake Arrieta is coming up to join Chicago's rotation on Friday, giving the Cubs a chance to take a long look at the pitcher over the final part of the season.

The 27-year-old Arrieta was acquired in a July 2 trade with Baltimore. The right-hander has made one start with Chicago, pitching six effective innings in a 3-2 loss to Milwaukee on July 30. He is 2-2 with a 3.56 ERA in seven starts with Triple-A Iowa.
